This telescope measures 76.5 cm when fully open and 25 cm when closed and has a main lens of 4 cm. The eye-piece has a dust slider and the telescope is signed, ‘Cummins, 148 Leadenhall St, London’.’.

There is a small patch of veneer loss to the mahogany barrel, otherwise it is free of damage and gives excellent views.

Charles Cummins worked from the above address from 1846 – 1851.
